Jane Burn, poet and artist Pamphlets include: Fat Around the Middle (Talking Pen, 2015) Tongues of Fire (BLERoom, 2016). Her collections of mention are more to it than bubbles (Indigo Dreams, 2016), This Game of Strangers (Wyrd Harvest Press, 2017, co-written with Bob Beagrie), One of These Dead Places (Culture Matters, 2017), Fleet, (Wyrd Harvest Press, 2018), Remnants (Knives Forks and Spoons Press, 2019, again written with Bob Beagrie), Yan, Tan, Tether (Indigo Dreams Press, 2020).

She is a fellow Associate Editor at Culture Matters, with our own Dr. Fran Lock, where they worked together on Witches, Warriors, Workers, an anthology of contemporary women's poetry. Jane lives an eco-friendly lifestyle in a wooden cottage in Northumberland. Many of her poems are about her adoration of language and how it connects her to the many passions and parts of her life. She is working-class, a wife, a mother, bisexual, a poet, an artist and a maker. She is also late-diagnosed autistic, and this diagnosis she says has helped everything finally make sense. She is currently doing an MA in Writing Poetry at Newcastle University. And her next collection, Be Feared, is due out in November from Nine Arches Press.

Fergheart's Craig Ferguson is an accomplished musician with well over a thousand gigs to his credit. He leads an award-winning bluegrass ensemble, has spent seven years backing roots music mashup master Cliff Wagner, has numerous performance credits on live television and over fifty placements on film and TV. Through innate talent and hard work, Ferguson has established himself as a go-to player in Los Angeles and beyond. But the hustle of a new-millennium career in music can take its toll, and Ferguson recently found himself suffering from a bit of technophobia, as the constant din of the Internet became more of a bane than a benefit. So he turned once again to music, forming Fergheart to provide an ensemble to showcase his own laid-back brand of breezy, soulful folk music. In Fergheart, Ferguson slows down the frenetic modern pace and uses songs as time machines to glide back to a simpler time when humans played real instruments on well-crafted songs with ambling tempos and hummable melodies. When Ferguson needed players to make Fergheart live and breathe, he called ace musicians like David Sutton and Butch Norton, who, aside from comprising the instrumental band Buick 6, are most famous for backing up alt-country journeywoman Lucinda Williams. Ferguson's voice is an easy baritone, and he deploys it on melodies that exist like a sculpture in the framework of his compositions – with everything not essential to the song stripped deftly away. But it's Ferguson's guitar playing that speaks most clearly to the simpler sound for which he was searching – on his vinyl EP, My Retro Weekend, he coaxes warm, tremolo-drenched tones out of his vintage Gibson hollow body guitar that should provide a welcome anodyne in this hyper-connected world.
